Saturn LW2 Speaker FAQ
What speaker sizes fit the Saturn LW2 door panels?
Both front and rear door panels use 6.5 inch speakers. The mounting depth might vary between locations though - you'll want to measure before ordering. Front doors typically handle component systems better due to tweeter placement options. Rear doors work fine with coaxials or full-range drivers.
Should I prioritize front or rear speakers when upgrading my Saturn LW2?
Start with the front door speakers. They handle most of your stereo imaging and vocals. A decent set of 6.5 inch components up front will make a bigger difference than replacing all four with cheap coaxials. You're sitting closer to the front speakers anyway. Rear speakers mostly fill in ambiance - they can wait.
Can I install component speakers in the Saturn LW2 rear doors?
Yes, the rear doors accept component speakers, but tweeter placement becomes tricky. You might end up mounting tweeters in the rear deck or custom locations. Coaxials probably make more sense back there unless you're building a serious system. The built-in tweeter eliminates mounting hassles.
What power handling should I look for in Saturn LW2 replacement speakers?
Most 6.5 inch aftermarket speakers handle 50-100 watts RMS comfortably. Your factory head unit pushes maybe 15-20 watts per channel, so almost any decent speaker will be an improvement. If you're adding an amplifier later, look for speakers rated around 75-100 watts RMS. Peak power ratings don't matter much.
Do full-range speakers work better than coaxials in the Saturn LW2?
Full-range speakers can work in the rear doors, but they're essentially single-driver designs without separate tweeters. Coaxials give you dedicated high-frequency drivers, which usually sounds clearer. Unless you're going for a specific vintage sound or have unusual space constraints, coaxials tend to perform better in door applications.
What impedance should Saturn LW2 replacement speakers be?
Stick with 4-ohm speakers. Most car audio systems expect 4-ohm loads, and your Saturn LW2 factory system was designed around this impedance. 8-ohm speakers will work but might sound quieter. 2-ohm speakers could stress your head unit if you're not using an external amplifier.
